Description

A sofle choc v2.1 case design to be able to fit a larger volume battery (so that the OLED screen and RGB can stay on without having too short of a battery life.

 

The case shown fits this battery in the “basement”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09DPR4V6L

The switches I used were these ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B086QGZRKG

 

Please double check with your controller exactly how you should wire everything up, but keep in mind that for these sofle choc PCBs, as they are double sided, there are spare pads for both RAW and GND that aren't occupied by the controller that you can use to make the wiring job cleaner.

 

The OLED cover spacer was just because for my particular build I socketed both the OLED screen cover and the controller, which made the total height increase, meaning I needed a spacer to raise the acrylic screen cover.

 

There are two cases shown, one with a cutout for a 3.5mm jack, and one without. If you use the case with a 3.5mm cutout and intend to use the keyboard with a TRS or TRRS cable connecting the halves, then you shouldn't place a battery in both halves. Alternatively if you're using the keyboard with a wireless controller such as a nice nano v2, then don't solder on a 3.5mm jack and use the case without a 3.5mm cutout.

 

For reference, the sofle choc keyboard kit I was using was this one: https://keebd.com/en-gb/products/sofle-v2-1-choc-keyboard-kit

Hi Kiyam, could you make the original model files available? I've printed it off but I would like to make a few modifications: * Lower the height of the rectangle around the battery by about 2mm compared to the 5 stand-offs, so it doesn't hit the components that stick through the bottom of the PCB * Slightly increase the internal size to allow maybe 0.5mm to 1mm space all around the edge of the PCB * Change the 5 standoffs so that they will take a threaded nut, to be pushed in from the inside The print worked OK for me but I had to trim down the walls around the battery so that the PCB would sit on the standoffs, and it's such a tight fit that I don't need the screws. In fact the fit is so tight that I think the PCB isn't sitting flat

Heya, sure I’ll take a look at this when I get a chance, probably in about a weeks time!
